The U.S. Department of Agriculture – USDA is often confused with the Food and Drug Administration –FDA, due to some similar regulations such as product’s traceability and safety. However, there are some major differences to be highlighted between the two.

PLM and ERP are complementary software that works together to ensure the success of a product. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) comes first by managing the product development and its processes. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) manages the supply chain including the inventory, pricing, and payments. These are used sequentially to provide the most up to date product data at any time.

Innovation is constant in the Cosmetics industry. Brands have to renovate their products to continue being in line with consumer demands. Consumers are getting more and more attentive to quality, effectiveness and immediate results.

If you have already sold products in the United States, you must know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates all products containing more than one ingredient. FDA is the authority on product regulations for the internal and external safety of their consumers. They set up rules and make sure they are respected for all products sold within the United States of America and exported abroad.

Product life cycles are getting shorter as the world market becomes more and more competitive. Therefore, being early in the development and marketing of a new product can be a serious competitive advantage as well as a financial one.

Along with summer comes the beach, the sun, and naturally, sunscreen. The miracle cream that prevents everyone from that horribly burned skin after a wonderful day of fun in the sun. But what exactly are the regulations surrounding this cream? How is SPF regulated and maintained to guarantee protection for everyones skin?

Confronted by its customers with the many problems and regulations related to product safety, Lascom has been able to adapt its PLM solution and thus automatically generate the Safety Data Sheets according to their chemical characteristics previously informed in the application.

Safety Data Sheets (SDS), also known as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), contain information on potential health hazards associated with exposure to chemicals or other substances that are Potentially hazardous.

The Safety Data Sheet specifies the composition of a chemical (substance or mixture), identifies hazards, recommends preventive measures (collective and individual) and first aid. In other words, it is a crucial piece of documentation for the health and well-being of consumers.
